Fully fenced private side yard and large backyard with deck. The property has a decorative pond that we maintain as a water source for wildlife. Fish food available!

Walkability: the home is all a short walk from downtown San Marcos/The Square, numerous restaurants, coffee shops, bars, shops and the farmers market on Saturday morning.

Dunbar Park is a block down the street, and Purgatory Natural Area and other green spaces within a mile—part of over 2,100 acres of protected natural areas within the city limits.

Other Things to Note

The neighborhood vibe is lively, walkable, and is a cherished historic district full of long-time local residents. Please be mindful and respectful of our neighbors by keeping the noise down during quiet hours (10pm-7am).

Please contact us through the VRBO app any time! We live just down the street and can pop over to assist.

This is a 100+ year old house, and not hermetically sealed like modern construction. In times of drought, we do occasionally see bugs which come in search of water. If this is a concern, please contact us. This is a child- and pet-safe space, and we use environmentally friendly, non-toxic household products and pest management on the property to do our part in protecting our environment and the beautiful San Marcos river.

We are family friendly and LGBTQ+ allies.

We enjoyed our stay in Bungalow SM. It was the perfect location (a nice quiet neighborhood). The back yard was fenced-great for our dog, and had a nice deck for us too. The house was very comfortable, nicely furnished. The hosts were very responsive. We enjoyed exploring the area and having such a nice place to return to every evening. We would definitely stay again.
